Bug 14811 – allow to exclude current directory from search path in dmd

I'd like to have an option to exclude current directory from search path in dmd. I already made a local modification to dmd to allow that (dmd -exclude_cwd_from_imports) Would that be acceptable? (cf forum EMAIL:exclude current directory from search path in dmd ?)

Reduced use case: see https://github.com/timotheecour/dsnippet/tree/master/bug_14811 make ..//main.d(3): Error: module foo.fun1 from file fun1.d conflicts with another module fun1 from file ..//foo/fun1.d With my modification (adds a flag -exclude_cwd_from_imports): make with_flag #works

Why you cannot do that from the project root directory? The feature explanation does not argue the necessity of the enhancement. Please show to us the situation where the feature is necessary.

>> Why you cannot do that from the project root directory? There's not always an obvious project root directory, eg when using submodules or several outside packages. >> The feature explanation does not argue the necessity of the enhancement. Please show to us the situation where the feature is necessary. * I'm not the only one wanting this: http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] * It exists in c++ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12353429/prevent-gcc-from-searching-the-current-dir-i-option-on-include-search-path * if the 'natural' working directory is foo/ (current directory, where user edits files etc), wrapping every dmd invocation with 'cd root && dmd some_command && cd -' is inconvenient. Eg, the error messages will be wrt to root, not wrt user's current directory
